Questions about Dried parsley
When should you add dried parsley while cooking?
Add it to soups, stews, sauces and pasta water early enough to soften and release its flavour. For a fresher herbal note, stir in a small pinch near the end as well.
How much dried parsley should you use instead of fresh parsley?
Use about one teaspoon of dried parsley for one tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Dried parsley gives a gentler, less bright flavour, so it works best in cooked dishes rather than as the main garnish.
Can you rehydrate dried parsley before using it?
Yes. Soak it in a spoonful of warm water for about 5 minutes, then stir it into dressings, dips or fillings; for soups and sauces, you can add it straight to the liquid.
How should you store dried parsley?
Keep it in a tightly closed jar in a cool, dark, dry cupboard, away from the cooker and steam. Crush a little between your fingers before using; if it has little aroma, it is past its best.
What goes well with dried parsley?
It suits garlic, lemon, butter, olive oil and black pepper, and is often used in herb blends, meatballs, savoury rice, potato dishes and soups. Mix it into breadcrumbs for a coating on fish or chicken.
What can you use instead of dried parsley?
Dried chervil or dried coriander leaf can replace it in soups and sauces, though each brings a more distinctive flavour. If using fresh parsley instead, add about three times as much by volume.
Is dried parsley the same as parsley root?
No. Dried parsley is the leafy herb with the water removed; parsley root is a firm, pale root vegetable, peeled and cooked much like parsnip or carrot.
